I think that i must program it myself. but if you know CMS that have these features please tell me to save my time.

And alse if you know,Which hosting provider is good for it ? Easy installation and low cost.

I don’t know of any CMS systems such as you describe, but you might want to consider Joomla:

http://www.joomla.org

You could probably hack or wrap it into what you’re after.

For all LAMP-based hosting, I prefer http://www.dreamhost.com — which includes an installer for Joomla in the control panel.

Is there any pre-made templates/software for websites that allow users to upload & post videos (& convert)?

December 30, 2009 - 4:35 am 2 Comments

I have a domain/site hosted and need a template/content management software that allows users to create accounts & post videos. Of course they’d be uploading in all kinds of formats, so I need the software to automatically convert it and post it. Very similar to YouTube but for a smaller, niche audience. Thanks!
CLARIFICATION: I don’t mean software you download and install on your computer, I mean server-side software.

I recommend you use this software :E.M. Total Video Converter.
It’s a piece of extremely powerful and full-featured converter software that supports almost all video and audio formats. The software is designed to convert video for your mobile video player as 3gp, mp4, PSP, PS3, iPod, iPhone etc and also VCD or DVD player, XBOX360

Looking for a web content management system?

December 30, 2009 - 4:34 am 2 Comments

I work for a large school district, and we have about 40 various teachers/staff members who edit various sections of the website. Right now, we just use Dreamweaver and Contribute, but that system is difficult to support and we have a number of problems with it.

We want to migrate our website to a CMS, so our "web editors" can edit the site directly from their browser, and make the entire process simpler. However, I’ve done a ton of research and I am having trouble picking a specific system, I was wondering if anyone could make a recommendation.

Threre are three main requirements:
1) Must support Active Directory (or LDAP) authentication, rather by default or with a patch/module/add-on – we want the editors to be able to log in with their existing accounts.
2) Must support per-user or per-group permissions. Such as we put several teachers in the "high school" group, and they can only edit pages related to the high school.
3) Must be extremely simple/easy for editors to use. We don’t want to teach our editors how to go through 20 steps just to create a single page. I don’t care how hard it is for the administrator side, as I can manage, but for the editors it must be simple.

Those three requirements are a must, as we’ve tried to do without those three things before for other projects, and it turned out being a disaster. Does anyone know of a CMS that meets those requirements?
Joomla lacks user/group permissions. Basically a user can either edit every page with Joomla, or they can not edit any page. There’s no way to assign certain users permissions to certain pages.

Joomla 1.6 will have this feature, but it’s in Alpha right now, and we don’t want to use potentially unstable software on a production environment.

Drupal does everything you’re looking for. It would probably be worth it to hire a professional to make it happen. You won’t have to pay anything for the software, just for the configuration.

Drupal already has very good support for multiple editor levels. The CCK module makes page-editing a breeze. When a user is on a page she is authorized to modify, any moddable sections have their own ‘edit’ button.

There is also an LDAP integration module that can be used to allow existing passwords to be used for the system. http://drupal.org/project/ldap_integration I haven’t used this myself, but it looks pretty straightforward.

I think Joomla also offers many of the same features, but you’re more likely to find a drupal dev in your area, as it’s a bit more common.

What’s the difference between medical imaging technologists and radiologists?

December 30, 2009 - 4:34 am 1 Comment

I mean like job details. Not necessarily education or salary.
technician*
maybe technologist?

A radiologist is a doctor that interprets medical images. The technologist takes the images.

it’s funny but all that code you pasted in there is totally irrelevant to your problem..

Anyhow I went and looked up this class for you here, http://www.xoops.info/doc/nav.html?_classes/index.html and researched the problem..

After this – $uploader = new XoopsMediaUploader

slide in this:
$uploader->setTargetFileName($value);

Where $value is the random file name you wish to use.
A very simply way to create a random string would be:
$value = mt_rand(5, 15);

Keep in mind you will need to concat the extension onto that random number!!!

please have anyone correct my english grammar?

I need to paste multi-page PDF documents as an image in a lengthy word document. At present we are copying and pasting each page – is there a quicker way?

You Can’t
PDF is a Protected Data File
However if you have a scanner you can scan the printed version into word as text or a image.
